Buttercup Fields

My walk today was perfect - a really lovely May morning. The sun was hazy, the wild flowers thick in the hedgerows, birds singing, and young heifers grazing among the buttercups.
When I was very small my family and I came to Somerset from Buckinghamshire for a holiday. We stayed by a farm, and I used to follow the cows down the lane and into the farmyard, where I was able to watch the milking. For me, it was paradise, and I loved every minute of it.
